Slog - Comments on Yes We Can Hitch Ourselves to the Bandwagon http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/yes_we_can_hitch_ourselves_to_the_bandwa_1 I mentioned this yesterday during the primary night Slog-fest, but it seems worth floating on the day side, too. It appears that Obama's mantra of "Yes we can" is taking off as a down-ticket campaign slogan, popping up in spontaneous cheers at the primary night party for Gov. Gregoire and stamped across the cover of a new glossy handout that I received at the primary night party held by eastside Congressional candidate Darcy Burner: There's been a lot of talk in political circles about whether (and how) Obama's candidacy will provide the promised lift in down-ballot races, and yesterday's double...

So when re-posting you're no longer one of the split personalities of the individual known as SECB?

Seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to do that last night?

Hell, why not just leave names out entirely, and post everything under the name "Slog"? At least people might read Mudede's posts before they label them as drivel, and ECB might not be blindly attacked so much (Either that, or everyone else will be attacked more...)

Awesome party building though- invite a ton of people into your tent, and then throw everyone of them under the bus.
